Pesto and (Gluten Free) Pasta

It's officially autumn.  The trees are at their peak colors, sweaters are out of storage, and it's time to bring on the hearty foods!

As you might have seen, I have a lot of basil in my garden, so I decided to try my hand at making my first pesto.  And much to my pleasure, this recipe is simple, easy, and good!  And after it's made, you can easily toss it into a dish like...

Sun Streaks: Arkansas Sunset

I do love me a good sunset.  And the mid-south is abound with them.   Thank you, ma'am, for this moment!

Sun Streaks: Meet Me in Saint Louis

 I always knew Saint Louis was the Gateway to the Midwest.  And I always knew they had that "arch thing" and a very good baseball team.  But that's where my knowledge stopped. I never realized how much history and beautiful architecture the city had.  My loss, because I was very pleasantly surprised by this finding on a recent trip.

I wasn't able to take in the whole city, just a baseball game and the walk to and from the stadium from the hotel.  But a return trip is definitely in order to see more of what this city has to offer.  I'm told I MUST try the fried ravioli.
